giant vs dwarf

[DeeDub]

Herp, I've told you about my cohabitants. Bruce is right, it takes extra attention and care to prevent bites during feeding in adults. Never had cannibalism, but had them bite each other. Females would bite the male (they were by far more aggressive feeders) and the one time I saw my big guy bite and flip one of the females I decided mass feeding frenzies were a no go. My male would amplex my females as well. This posed a risk of drowning for the females with my water feature.

I also am a proponent of people doing what they want, and won't tell you not to (nor would I judge regardless of outcome). If you set it up right, and pay attention you could keep them together.

ive had my giant and dwarf together for a very long time no issues but it takes extra watching and care for sure. Never any sign of aggression.

Yeah Deedub, I know that yours got along very well except for the fact they got carried away during feeding. I just don't think that cannibalism is going to happen during their day to day activities. Even during feeding they would probably let go if they accidentally grabbed, but I can't know for sure, because I feed my males separately.

thank you guys, that is pretty much what i was looking for, a discussion on whys and how. So it looks like that dwarf and giant can be housed together, provided they are similar in size and that you know what you're doing, but same would go to housing several dwarfs or giants together. my gut feeling though says that one frog per enclosure should be a general rule, I'm a bit on better safe then sorry side.
